ABOUT WEARING BEARDs.-One rea-
son why neither whiskers nor moustache
could be tolerated during the last century
and the early part of this was the fashion
of snuf-taking, and it was not until that
habit began to disappear that the revival
of the beard was even talked OF: During
our civil war boards came more in general
fashion, and it was frequently suggested
by the press 70 Mr.. Chase, who in raising
the enormous expenditure at that time,
had proposed to Congress taxes on almost
every article of food and clothing, that q
tax be laid upon boards. It would have
had a despotic precedent, for Peter the
Great laid tax on the boards of his sub
iects. His object was to abolish boards In
his dominions, which he succeeded in o.
ing. 1t was not until the time. OF the
great Empress Catharine that Russian sub
iects were again permitted to wear boards:
With us fashion no longer controls, and
each can do according to his will. But this
word in your ears, my masters, whoever
hath not a well-shaped neck and chin
would better grow his beard.

A WONDERFUL LAKE IN lOWA.-The
greatest wonder in the State Of Iowa, and
perhaps in any other State, ls what IS
called the Walled Lake, in Wright county,
twelve miles north Of the Dubuque and
Pacific Railroad, and one hundred and
fifty miles west of Dubuque City. The
lake is two or three feet higher than the
earth's surface. In some places the wall
is ten feet high, fifteen feet wide at the
bottom, and five feet wide at the top.
Another fact is the size of the stones used
in the construction, the whole OF them
VARYING in weight from three tons down
to one hundred pounds. There Is an
abundance of stones in Wright county.
but surrounding the lake, to an extent OF
ten miles, there are none. NO one can
form an idea of the means employed 10
bring them to the spot, or who constructed
it. Around the entire lake Is belt OF
woodland, half mile in length, composed
of oak. With this exception the country
is a rolling prairie. The trees must have
been planted there at the time of the build
ing of the wall. In the spring OF 1905
there was great storm, and the ice on the
lake broke the wall in several places, and
the farmers in the vicinity were obliged
to repair the damages to prevent inunda-
tion. The lake occupies a ground surface
of $500 acres; depth of water as great
as twenty-five feet. The water Is clear and
cold, soil sandy and loamy. 1t is singu-
lar that no one has been able to ascertain
where the water comes from or Where IL
goes, vet it is always clear and fresh.

Two DOG STORIES. Flash, the 1inely
bred setter owned by DR.. G. A. Packard, OF
Bath, Maine, has a favorite house in the city
which he often visits. The other day he
was there at the dinner hour, and, civil dog
that he is, he waited till the family rose
from the table, when he made his ap-
pearance known and was at once admit
ted as welcome guest. One of the fanni-
ly. a lady. is very fond of Flash, and he
reciprocates the kindness shown him. The
latter is a great knitter, and as soon as
Flash entered the hallway he passed to
room secured the lady's knitting work and
brought it to her. Finding!the ball Of yarn
was not with it he returned at once and
secured that also, and then laid himself
at the lady's feet while she went on with
her work.
A family removed to San Francisco few
weeks ago and let the furnished house 1t
vacated to an old lady. Among the assets
was q Newfoundland dog, says the Vir-
ginia City (Nev.) Chronicle. In the draw

The dog left the chair instantly and leap

intruding feline; while the lady sat down
in her favorite chair. The next day the
dog entered the room while the mistress OF
the house was seated in the coveted chair.
Suddenly the animal rushed to the open
window and began barking furiously.
The old lady ran to the window to ascer-
tain the cause of the dogs excitement,
when the animal instantly leaped into the
chair she had vacated and refused to leave

pEMooRAoY THE SAME.

Many of the old settlers of Minnesota
will remember the lofty manner in
which Jim Cavanaugh (''0ur Jim" as he
was Familiarity called) used TO announce
the fact in all his stump speeches, when
q candidate for congress, that Democra-
ey was the same in South Carolina as in
Massachusetts,. He might with equal
truthfulness declare il had lost none of
its uniformity of character and certainly
none of it's instructive meanness. That is
the same in Indianapolis, Indiana, as ism
Yazoo, Mississippi. The same disposition
to resort to fraud and violence to thWart
the will of the majority exist with the
Democracy Of Indiana that does with
the barbarian Democracy in Yazoo.
Lieut-governor Robertson, despite all the
frauds of the HoOsier golden circle De-
mocracy, was elected by plurality so
large that the supreme court, consisting
of four Democrats to one Republican,
dare not risk their reputation by decid-
ing with the conspIrators to cheat him
out of his position, but the Democrats in
the Senate, backed up by a well organ
lied mob, and sound Democratic gov
ernor who declares if the city police are
called upon to enforce order he will call
the militia out to resist them, have de-
fed all law and laid aside all
responsibility. A more disgraceful
political outrage has never been
perpetrated in this country than
by the Democratic senators of Indiana.
They have fully established the fact that
they belong to the same class and party
of Democratic election swindlers as the
Joe Mackin crowd of Chicago, the bal
lot box thieves of Cincinnati, and the
worst element of Democratic brutes in
Yazoo. Yes, Cavanaugh was right. De-
mocracy is the same in Indianapolis as
in Yazoo. The same in Chicago as in
CINCINNATI; the same now as in "Our
Jim's" time, 1t is as impervious to i'm
proyement as the best CORK in their
whisky TASKS is to water.

IcoMPLIMENTARY.

The Chicago Times is the recognized
Chicago organ of the President and
the mouth piece of the Democracy, and
this is what it has to say of the Union
veterans who saved the Union in spite
of the Democratic party North and
South.
"Thank God! the claim agents, the
demagogues, the deadbeats and pordi-
oseros and deserters and coftee-coolers
and bounty jumpers, composing our
great standing army of mendicants have
been defeatedH'
These are words that no man but one
who was a sympathIzer with treason
during the rebellion and whose heart
still burns with hatred of loyalty to the
Union, could utter. But the organ goes
farther on with the brazen impudence
that would make Satan blush, and says:
1.-THE truth is, as the Times has observ-
ed before in this discussion, there Is the
nature of the volunteer here something
that inclines him to the profession OF
mendIcancy; something that tends to di.
vest him of the manly character and
self-respect of the independent citizen,
and TO degrade him to the stains of a
serVile dependent or an incapable pau
per. That this is the degrading tenden-
cy, also, of the so-caIled Grand Army
mutual Standardization societies there
appears ample evidence"
The few Union ex-soldiers who voted
for Cleveland should ponder these
words of Growers mouth organ in their
hours of meditation, and try to familiar
ice themselves with the opinion in
which they are held by the men they vo-
ted for.

THn NEW ELECTION Law.

The House considered the whitemsn
election bill "Wednesday afternoon and
succeeded in passing it with some
amendments whiohsdo not affect the
usefulness of the law materially. The
number of voters in election districts
was cut down to 400. An amendment
preventing the running in Of gangs OF
railroad men to vote was added, and the
hours for keeping the polls open were
fixed from Q a. m. 10 p. m. in the coun-
try and in cities of over 5000 TO p. m.
The judges are not to leave the polls un-
til all the ballots are counted, Yes
terday the Senate eonenrred in the
House amendments and the bill has
been sent to the governor. There il
general satisfaction that the bill passed
and it is felt that while it may not be
perfect it is great improvement over
the present law.

WILLIAM FLICK ofSouix City shot him
self in the head on Tuesday and will
probably die. He says the shot, which
entered under the chin, was accidental,
but neighbors say that it was intentional
and was the result of q family quarrel.
Fleck is brother-in-law of Mrs. George
TreIber, wife Ofthe Haddock conspirator
now wanted by the prosecution, and
having been out of work for some time
he found it burden to support his fam
lily and Mrs. Treiber and children. He
wanted the latter to go to her fathers
but his wife insisted that she should
stay. Several quarrels resulted over the
matter, and the shooting is probably the
result of a quarrel, and dependency
caused by being out of money and out
of work.

STATE AUDITOR BRADEN is being erro-
reously reported by those papers which
have published the rumor that he rec
commended the abolisment of the appro-
priation for the publication of the laws
in the newspapers of the State. Mr..
BradeD never recommended anything
of the kind, and would in fact be the
last man in the state to do 30. He was
waited upon by the finance committee
and asked as to the amount of appropri-
alton necessary for the printing of the
laws. The Auditor told them what the
estimate was that had been furnished by
different publishers. He was asked il
he had any recommendation to offer
and took OCCASION to point out some in
CAPABILITIES in the existing law. For in
stance q so-called sheet with a circula-
ton of "a subscribers, receives the same
pay as a paper with 1900 subscribers.
There is certainly no reason in this, and
Auditor Braden took occasion to express
himself in manly way on the subject.
The law should be amended 80 as to
equalize the pay for publishing the laws
and accord each paper compensation
based upon its circulation.
